Rivers' daughter Melissa and grandson in front of Temple Emanu-El, where throngs of celebrities joined them to pay tribute of Joan after the funeral''
Even in death, Joan Rivers got what she wanted: A star-studded funeral.
On Sunday morning, a legion of notables turned out at New York's Temple Emanu-El to remember Rivers, who died Thursday at 81: Kathy Griffin, whose edgy, biting comedy career was largely made possible by Rivers; Fashion Police costars Kelly Osbourne and Giuliana Rancic, holding hands for moral support; Sarah Jessica Parker; Whoopi Goldberg; and Howard Stern.
Theatre stars Bernadette Peters, Alan Cumming and Tommy Tune also attended the service, as did record producer Clive Davis and fashion designers Carolina Herrera and Michael Kors.
TV personalities Barbara Walters, Geraldo Rivera, Diane Sawyer, Kathie Lee, Hoda Kotb and Andy Cohen came to pay their last respects. And moguls Barry Diller, Donald Trump and Steve Forbes also attended the unconventional service.

Her funeral was anything but boring — just how she wanted it.
Goldberg, wearing a choir-like robe with different color shoes, waved a cheering crowd 4,500 -strong as she walked in.
Donald Trump caused a stir when he came in. His daughter Ivanka Trump and her husband were there, too.
'Getting ready to pay final respect to GREAT LADY Joan Rivers,' Donald Trump tweeted. 'She could light up a room like no other! She will be greatly missed.'
